Registration opens for June in-person conference in DC
Registration has opened for CCL’s June conference in Washington, D.C.! This year’s conference is the first in-person CCL event in two years, and will be from Jun. 11-13. You can expect to hear from Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Citizens’ Climate Lobby Board Member Mark Reynolds, Maryland Regional Director at Climate Xchange Wandra Ashley-Williams, and many others. Conference-goers can add Saturday seminars onto their registration tickets for deeper dives into climate topics, such as working across the political divide, finding CCL’s next climate policies, and inclusion discussions. Training and breakout sessions will help attendees build their skills as leaders and volunteers in the climate movement and learn how to engage members of Congress. While CCL National will not be organizing in-person D.C. lobby meetings during this conference, volunteers can organize in-person or virtual lobby meetings with their members of Congress in consultation with congressional liaisons and state coordinators. Our lobby week will be in conjunction with the first International Week of Action in partnership with Citizens' Climate International. We can’t wait to see you there!
